Any help on this is much appreciated!

Hello guys.
I hope you can help me please.
I've been at this now for a total of 4 days, and I seem to be getting no where with it now.
Basically, my old design used tables, which I wanted to get rid of, so i've tried to get the same design, but this time in CSS.
I've managed to most of it - but as you'll see, the left/center/right divs don't sit on top of the "normlinks" div - so the grey doesn't continue despite how much content each hold.
Also i'm sure you'll see things i've done wrong, any help on this is very much appreciated!
A happy new year!

Thanks.

ive always had good luck with tables. i dont know what to tell you.

As much as I hate to say this...

I don't think its possible... I tried it myself and couldn't figure out it... even with the help of some CSS guru's...

But you might find a workaround using one of these templates:
